In this weeks Walter's Lab Notes, Dr. Bishop mentions Petrarchan sonnets, Cassandra (from greek mythology, had the gift of prophecy, and the curse that no one would ever believe her predictions), and Sassafras (an ingredient in Root Beer Floats).

In Russian "Yugoslavskych" is an adjective "yugoslavian", plural, second person (in context like: "about Yugoslavian writers" or "in Yugoslavian newspapers" etc.). I suppose, since it isn't written in Cyrillic, it isn't Russian, but another Slavic language, looks like Polish (with the suffix "skych").

The grammar case is really weird for a writing above the door, so I hope - I very hope - it is like you write it: "Yugoslav Skych", with space, which doesn't make any other sence, but a name "Yugoslav Skych"... I've never heard about forename "Yugoslav" and about a family name "Skych" though.

My only hope is, it isn't a "lost in translation" masterpiece like this:http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/myl/TranslateServerError.jpg
